Ed Miliband has come under attack from one of his senior frontbenchers for
failing to take on the Tories over immigration.

Diane Abbott, a Shadow health minister and former leadership candidate, said
that her party had not done enough to make the case for immigration. She
said the Labour leader had been swayed by polling suggesting that taking a
tough stance on immigration was “popular”.

The concerns raised by Ms Abbott, a leading figure on the left of the party,
is a sign that Mr Miliband is now coming under pressure from all wings of
Labour to clarify his position
